A commission for Akia Walker on gaiaonline [link] [dA: *AkiaWalker][alternative version with thinner lines: [link]

asdjkl Akia is such a bad-ass pretty character. I loved drawing her, and it was nice to get to work more on my more realistic coloring style ≧ ܫ ≦ (yes, even I get tired of drawing only kawaii desu chibis after a while)I also tried to use a traditionally drawn lineart this time and I'm really happy with the result ; ∀ ;

Anyways, my only critiques is that the blood could be brighter (though that's a stylistic thing), and that the hand on the top looks a little bit awkward, though I think it's just that the base of the hand (the palm?) is bent a little too much to look natural. The pose is a little stiff (oh my god I suck at poses why am I trying to advise someone on poses) and yeah that's really it.

Q// v //Q you have no idea how many times I've read that phrase now, thinking that I really should reply soon -and how grateful and happy it has made me each time!

//uses a Phoenix Down on Parae// c:

Thank you very much for that tip on the blood. I had so many problems drawing it and could absolutely not see what was wrong, but that sounds like it'd help a real lot! > w <I see what you mean with the pose, too, thanks~And why do you say that you can't advise on poses when you give me great advise >:u (plus, you don't suck at poses anymore(n-not that you ever really sucked, but you weren't grea --uhhhadjkghdfg, w-what I'm trying to say is that you've improved a lot on poses! asdfksjdfh. just sayin') waah it's hard to decide what to call you now that you have so many usernames though I guess it's not much easier to decide what to call me eheheh.. orz;;

Ufufufufuu~ My evil plan worked! Now that your blood has hurried to your face, the rest of your body has slightly less blood, and that means that some of the viruses I sent to you over interwebs (which were released when you pressed the Add Comment button) will be able to infiltrate your body and set off a ginormous bomb which has been inside your body since birth, waiting to be set oft like this at exactly this time, to harm mankind as much as possible. MWUAAHAHA. ohwait I'm more than two months late so my pressing of the button (I forgot to say I had to press a button here as well) won't work after all. Damm eet. (gomen)

Ok, Par- I mean Elizabeth I mean-- Humph, if I call you Elizabeth I can add -chan, so Erizabesu-chan is what I will call you.(!) I think. Probably. If I don't forget. :/ I'm Sina. Nice to meet you. *uhhwwwwink*

Did I ever tell you that it feels like Christmas every time I see you've replied? <3A-am I going to explode? ;v; but I still have so much life to live. Moral of this story - blushing is deadlyForgetting is okay because I like forget everyone's name every five seconds. But you can call me Eriza-chan! I feel so Japanese desu

B-because it happens just about as often? ;´ v `; //shotfivemilliontimesjeeez// I just made that awkwardlame joke because I'm overwhelmedokay heh sorry orz;; you have to stop saying these nice things adkfghdfgdsgIn all seriousness, though, since I'm unable to find another comparative, I would like to steal yours and say that it feels like Christmas each and every time I read the replies from you as well. <33Uhh.. Y-yes. I think so? ohwait now I can't get more "replies-that-feel-like-Christmas" from you nooooo!Didn't think this through...Yep. Blushing is very bad.Uwaaah~! エリザちゃんですね~. いいなまえですね! :･ﾟ.*☆\ ( ✪ ω ✪ ) ﾉ☆ *.･ﾟ:I will probably slip up and say エリザベス someimes as well, because it's very fun because of the derpiness hehe. ´ v `;;

A-and pronounced that way it is also a real Japanese surname(!), written with the kanjis for vertebral and name 椎名 -Like Mayushii (Steins;Gate), Shiina (Angel Beats!), Shiina Mota (Vocaloid songmakerproducerpersonthing) and several others *ゝヮ゜*. Just thought I should add that because I'm sortof, in a way, sortof proud sortof ≧ ω ≦

When I first saw this reply, I read that sentence like five times and didn't get it AND THEN I GOT ITBut no, that's not why I'm so happy (;ﾞ´ω´) ohohoI'm going to keep saying nice things until you start believing them and say nice things about yourself and SELF-ESTEEM YAYI think too many of my sentences end in sudden caps because I get all nervous and anxious and suddenly let's end this sentence.<3 aw, you flatter me (because my replies are written slap-dash and like so incorrect and incoherent and nothing like Christmas presents) ;v;Welp I guess you'll just have to un-explode me so I can keep typing with fingers and everything.Err... desu. I actually had to get out a translator to understand that sentence (except, now that I think about it, I could have deciphered it without a translator) and YAY I like my name!!

YES that's why I liked it because I was sure that I had seen Shiina as a name somewhere!!!!!! So it's totally legit as a Japanese name so now you are officially more Japanese
